Development of Automatic Geological Lineament Extraction Software for Supporting Construction Activities
نویسندگان
چکیده
Preliminary geological investigations have been conducted to find suitable construction site and to assess engineering geological characteristics before detailed in situ investigation for large scale construction activities such as highway, railroad, subway or underground cavern constructions. The geological stability is a very important and critical factor for safe maintenance of structures and facilities. Distribution of geological lineament is directly connected to geological stability of the area, but conventional wide area investigations as a preliminary investigation step were time consuming and labor intensive. Using remote sensing data and automatic analysis software can suggest quantitative standard processes for those analyses and improve working efficiency.

Mapping of Lineaments and Knowledge Base Preparation using Geomatics Techniques for part of the Godavari and Tapi Basins, India: A Case Study
Earth consists of hard rock layers where water is restricted to secondary permeability, and thus to fractures and the weather zones. Structural geology studies, geologic lineaments and their pattern information are essential for better planning and execution of projects to avoid any natural hazards. Satellite images, aerial photographs and digital elevation models will give lineament informatio...

Geological structures, such as faults and fractures, appear as image discontinuities or lineaments in remote sensing data. Geologic lineament mapping is a very important issue in geo-engineering, especially for construction site selection, seismic, and risk assessment, mineral exploration and hydrogeological research. Classical methods of lineaments extraction are based on semi-automated (or vi...

The main objective of this work is to design an automatic image processing tool for lineament mapping from LANDSAT-TM satellite data. In doing so, three procedures are involved: (i) image enhancement using histogram equalization technique; (ii) automatic lineament detection using Canny algorithm; and (iii) three-dimensional (3D) lineament visualization using SRTM data. The study shows that Cann...

This paper presents a new method of automatic lineament extraction which includes the removal of the ‘artefacts effect’ which is associated with the process of raster based analysis. The core of the proposed Multi-Hillshade Hierarchic Clustering (MHHC) method incorporates a set of variously illuminated and rotated hillshades in combination with hierarchic clustering of derived ‘protolineaments’...
